Excerpt

My friends and I love hockey.
We shared a single dream:
To shoot like stars across the ice
and make our town's A team.
Last year we tried out full of hope.
Five friends and I were keen,
Until we got a look at them.
Those A's were big and mean.
Right from the start they broke the rules.
"We've picked our team," they said.
"Go home, Frenchie. You, too, Fanny -
and don't forget Fat Fred."
